Our family of 5 started as new patients 7 months ago & we have all had wonderful experiences. The front desk staff is... so friendly & was able to get all of us in on the same day for our first visits. We have had cleanings & dental treatments. The doctors, assistants and hygienists are all very gentle & made sure our treatment was comfortable. A friend referred us to this practice and I am so glad we have found such a wonderful office.read more

The primary cause of bad breath from the throat is bacteria. Bacteria naturally reside in the mouth and throat, and when they break down food particles and other substances, they release foul-smelling gases. Poor oral hygiene can lead to an overgrowth of bacteria in the mouth and throat, resulting in bad breath.
- Yogurt: Yogurt contains probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that can help balance the oral microbiome and reduce bad breath.
Chronic sinus infections and post-nasal drop often lead to bad breath, as do persistent throat infections. Some people suffer from infections in the stomach that travel up the esophagus into the mouth, leaving a bad smell. Severe acid reflux and GERD can cause a bad odor, and certain metabolic disorders emit unpleasant gases through the breath.
Taking steps to prevent and treat throat-related bad breath not only improves oral health but also boosts self-confidence and overall well-being.
Drinking plenty of water can also help prevent tonsil stones and bad breath. Staying hydrated helps keep the mouth moist, reducing the risk of bacterial overgrowth and the formation of tonsil stones.
